The Last Word: Opal Lee Shares a Lifetime of Wisdom at North Texas Girl Scouts Event
by David Seeley | Feb 21, 2024
There's a reason Opal Lee's portrait is on permanent display in the Texas Senate chamber in Austin. Known as the Grandmother of Juneteenth, the 97-year-old social activist worked tirelessly to ensure that Juneteenth would be recognized as a federal holiday. Earlier this month, she passed along some of her wisdom to a new generation at a Lake Highlands Girl Scouts "3 C's" speaker event in Dallas.
